More Information

German is all about Riesling right? Well.....not always it seems. We have just received word that the exicting Pinot Noir's from Fraken's emerging superstar Benedit Baltes have hit our shores.

These grapes are grown on some spectacularly steep and ancient vineyard sites around the old town of Klingenberg. The grapes are grown to strict organic and biodynamic principles (certified in 2016).

Whilst most of the wines are 100% this number is a Portugieser (WTF?), a grape with origins from the Danube Valley (not in Portugal!). It's an early ripening lighter style and hard to believe it is Germany's 3rd most planted variety (although total plantings have halved since the 1970s).

".....this is not the first time that Benedikt Baltes has come to my attention. His Spatburgunders turned my head at the Weinborse in 2015 with their energy, purity and structure. But it's been four years since I tasted his wines and I'd forgotten quite how much ready please (and good value, when you look at the recent prices of certain other German wines!) his entry-level Pinot delivers."
